Explanation
The Periyar River is the longest river in Kerala and is a major west-flowing river that empties into the Arabian Sea. It is often referred to as the 'Lifeline of Kerala'.
In contrast, the Pennar (also known as Penna) and the Palar are east-flowing rivers of the Indian peninsula. The Pennar originates in the Nandi Hills of Karnataka and flows through Andhra Pradesh before draining into the Bay of Bengal. Similarly, the Palar River originates in the Kolar district of Karnataka and flows through Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to reach the Bay of Bengal. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
